Do we have a trope for when someone is surprised by something, like a loud noise or a tap on the shoulder, or gets his foot stepped on, that he jumps like around 10 or 20 feet in the air before coming back down again? I know I've seen it in a few tv shows, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Is this a trope or should be in the YKTTW section?

You know, I have seen that happen in {{National Lampoon's European Vacation}} with the random biker, but I can't quite place the name of it.
